Very nice job on this piece, Tony! Very enjoyable to listen to! It's great seeing what you do with a song like this on a classical guitar!

Tony, this doesn't seem like the type of song that would be amenable to solo guitar - but you make it work wonderfully. Great stuff!

Thanks Larry. I did think that myself initially especially the middle section but someone set me the challenge. I couldn't get the chromatic orchestral sections to work but that didn't matter ultimately.

That sure was nice Tony, and quite manageable for intermediate players. Beautifully arranged and so well played.

Thank you as always Toby. I'm aiming most of my arrangements at intermediate players so that's good to hear. Cheers!

Really nice Tony. As usual
A comment/question - I never really contemplated this one on guitar so I don't really know the chart or anything, but as soon as I started listening to this I thought either a) Eric Clapton was influenced by this song when writing Tears in Heaven or b) that song influenced your arrangement of this song. What do you think. Or am I hallucinating again

Hey Tony, that was great, as always! Like Larry, I started out kinda wondering how you were going to make that tune work, especially the middle section. But you pulled it off beautifully! I really enjoyed it. Keep posting...
